Chapter 36: A Way to Live
Chen Musheng came to visit Jing Yin early in the morning, although he was adopted by Jing Diyi since he was a child, it was the first time he saw her relatives. Jing Yin looked at it first, and saw that Chen Musheng was apprehensive for a while. Jing Yin patted Chen Musheng on the back and pinched this grandson's face, his physique was not bad. This move made Pingle feel distressed, and he turned red.
Jing Yin didn't praise or criticize, but threw down three words that made people scratch their heads, "It's okay." ”
Chen Musheng secretly looked at Pingle, Pingle remembered the unclear bastards between Chen Musheng and Qingqin, snorted and ran back to the room.
Jing Yin said to her daughter, "I want to go to the street today, you accompany your father to go shopping, you can do it alone, and the other idle people don't have to." He looked at Feng Michu and had something to say.
Jing Diyi smiled, "Okay." The hand behind his back pinched the buttocks of Feng Michu, who had never had a chance to interject, and felt Feng Michu's slight trembling, but he still had to pretend to be natural in front of people.
Cao Luo thought silently in his heart, he didn't see anything, he didn't see it.
Jing Yin didn't like people to follow, so Jing Diyi also sent away the subordinates who wanted to go out with him, "Dad, it's rare for you to come to the imperial capital, how about your daughter take you to eat the best food here?"
Jing Yin suddenly asked, "Have you received your master's token?"
It's a matter of time, isn't it, after all, the master is only one of her disciples, "If I don't take it, the master is afraid that she won't be able to play in the mountains and rivers with her godfather, and she will always have concerns in her heart." ”
"What about you?" Jing Yin rubbed her daughter's head, she was crazy to play, and she didn't go home, and she didn't know what her father was worried about.
"Me?" Jing Diyi thought for a while, worried...... Zhang Nian wore a cloak and appeared sneakily at the entrance of the alley.
After the fifth prince ascended the throne, she heard that Zhang Nian begged the new emperor to let him go back to his hometown on the grounds that he was too old to serve the emperor, but the emperor did not agree, and seemed to transfer him to other palaces to do some light work, so that he could retire in the palace, and Bai Chung took his place.
Jing Yin said, "It seems that I was looking for you on purpose." Jing Yin's chin nodded towards the tofu brain stall on the street, "Come to me when you're done." ”
Jing Diyi walked into the alley, and Zhang Nian took off his hat and knelt down in front of her.
"What are you doing here?" asked Jing Diyi.
Zhang Nian kowtowed twice, "I'm really desperate, I want to ask the girl to see that I have helped the girl with a little favor and save the slave's life." ”
He was referring to the fact that he had privately revealed to her that Song Yunyang had asked the emperor for marriage before, and she remembered that she also said that he needed help in the future, and she would return this favor.
It's just that he didn't expect that so soon, he would have something to ask for.
Jing Diyi was also refreshed, "Say, how do you want me to help?"
Zhang Nian said, "In fact, the slave has not lived for a few years at this age, but whoever can give birth will beg for death." The slave has seen the rise and fall of high and low in the palace, and the power has alternated. Many have seen through it, but there is only one wish that cannot be let go, and now the slave just wants to return to his hometown alive to survive and live with his family for a few more years. ”
Jing Diyi thought that what he said was true, he himself should know that once a son of heaven and a courtier, he was the confidant of the first emperor, and his life reached its peak when the first emperor was alive, and when the first emperor was gone, he was about to start going downhill. "Who wants you dead?"
Zhang Nian hesitated, obviously reserved for her.
Jing Diyi said, "You came to beg me to save you, but you can't fully believe me, so how do you want me to help?"
Zhang Nian gritted his teeth, he had thought about it in every possible way before he came to Jing Diyi, and he couldn't make up his mind for a long time, until he was almost pushed into the pool and drowned when he was on duty last night, so he planned to make a desperate bet.
In addition to Jing Diyi in the court, he didn't know who else to ask for, "The slave did a lot of things for the emperor, and he also knew many secrets, and he still remembered that the dim sum that the queen mother liked to eat when she was alive was sent by the emperor to the slave." ”
"Guessed. "The first emperor put his heart into him, and there were many inconveniences that he would let Zhang Nian do.
"Can the girl guess how the former emperor learned about the old things between the queen mother and Lu Pingzhao?"
It's just that it was because of the Empress Dowager that the Empress Dowager still occupied the position of the main palace in name only. She wondered why the former emperor suddenly cared about the old affairs of the queen mother?
Jing Diyi said, "You can say it directly." ”
"The girl asked the first emperor to take some time out of the palace every day to take a walk, if the first emperor is not busy with government affairs, he loves to walk around the imperial garden at the time, and when he passed by the imperial garden that day, he heard the palace talking about those gossip, rumors about Lu Pingzhao's death. This rumor has been spread in the palace before, and Princess Xu and Princess Pingle have heard it, but many years have passed, and it has been mentioned again for no reason. ”
I thought that it was the beginning, but he didn't expect it, thinking that it was just Gong E's broken mouth and gossiping, so he called the aunt who was in charge to punish the gossiping Gong E.
"In fact, since the emperor knew the identity of the girl, he arranged for spies to inquire about all aspects, for the girl, although he did not find out more, but for the identity of the champion, the emperor may know earlier than the girl thought. ”
Jing Diyi said, "I also guessed this." Mu Sheng is different from her, before he was adopted by her, his father was a staff member, although the family is not rich and noble, it is considered to have a small savings, one or two servants still have it, a stable mother-in-law, a neighbor, a childhood playmate, a teacher, and too many people who have been in contact with him. It was too much trouble to completely erase his traces, and she didn't think it was necessary.
Thinking that anyway, even if the emperor knew Mu Sheng's life experience, what would she do, she was there.
Zhang Nian continued, "After the emperor knew the identity of the champion, he first involved the case of Kaizhou. At that time, I didn't even notice about the Queen Mother and Lu Pingzhao, until the time when the Duke of Pingle wanted to feed the horse of Prince Fuqi to Croton, the eunuch who was close to the Queen Mother secretly went out of the palace and entered a wine shop, and then Lu Pingzhao's servants also went there, which brought out their affairs again. ”
Jing Diyi smiled, even if the Queen Mother couldn't let go of the old love in her heart, she took the husband and wife too seriously, and she would never let people go to Lu Pingzhao easily, "Didn't the eunuch bite his tongue and commit suicide later." ”
Zhang Nian nodded, "The girl is an outsider, of course she can see through, but the emperor is not." "The emperor had to endure illness and the fear of death, as well as the anger of a man betrayed by his wife. With so many emotions intertwined, where can I think about it, such a scandal is detrimental to Tianwei, the emperor only thinks about how to deal with this matter secretly, "The people who lay out are thoughtful, if someone directly accuses the queen mother and Lu Pingzhao of adultery, the emperor will suspect that someone is manipulating behind this, but this link is linked to each other, and the arrangement is like being broken by accident......"
Jing Diyi asked, "When did you think of it?"
"On the day the emperor died, the slave inadvertently saw Lord Feng and Bai Song...... "At that time, he reacted, Bai Song was taught by him, and he took it with him to train a clever helper, the emperor's diet, habits, work and rest, except for him, only Bai Song knew the most.
Jing Diyi lowered her eyes, he did it, should she be surprised.
Jing Diyi took a step closer towards Zhang Nian, and the shadow enveloped him, "You are the most trusted person around the former emperor, you should know where to put the edict written in front of the former emperor and what the content is, right?"
Zhang Nian shuddered, and a bean-sized cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "The slave is just a eunuch." ”
Jing Diyi looked at him like this, which confirmed the speculation, he did know the content of the edict, and knew that the edict that allowed the five princes to ascend the throne was fake, in fact, the tricks she used were similar to the edicts used by their so-called pseudo-emperors, but her methods were more clever, and the words she imitated were fake and true.
Zhang Nian is a smart person, although he didn't know that the edict was forged by her, but he probably guessed that she was involved in it, so he was so hesitant about her.
Jing Diyi said, "Yes, you are just a eunuch. I think you shouldn't have talked nonsense in the Empress Dowager, otherwise you wouldn't be able to stand in front of me today. With my relationship with Feng Michu, aren't you afraid?"
Zhang Nian said honestly, "I'm afraid." ”
Jing Diyi thought that he did know too much, and it was estimated that he had encountered several "accidents" in the palace, and if he hadn't been cautious, he would have died in a corner. Zhang Nian's identity is not what it used to be, if he is dead, he is dead, and he doesn't need to expect anyone to pursue him, he will only die unclear.
Now that there is no one in the court who can compete with Feng Michu, he is forced to come to her. Jing Diyi said, "I can save you, but I also have conditions, which not only make me feel at ease, but also let you get your wish." ”
……
Feng Mi first heard someone knocking on the window, and got up to open the window. The night was silent, and there was no one outside the window, so he closed the window, stood and did not go away, counting to three and opening the window again. Jing Diyi mischievously wore a mask and came out of the shadows to scare him.
"If I am scared to death, there will be no one to make rock sugar gourds for Miss in the future. He said.
Jing Diyi took off his mask, "Brother Feng is not such a timid person, besides, if you are really scared to death, I will give you two mouthfuls of immortal qi, and you will come back to life." She was talking about the plot of the drama where he went to see before when a fairy and a scholar fell in love. She looked into the room, and he was writing a recital, "Who said that you won't be in charge of politics for the past two days?" ”
The two hearts know each other, a little bit of spirit, he only condenses with affection, and sighs seriously after half a sound, "It's hard to sleep alone." ”
said like a resentful woman in the boudoir, and the grievances were lingering, "Then Brother Feng wants me to go in?"
He retreated, "If Miss comes in, I'm afraid I won't be willing to leave." ”
"Then I still don't want to make it difficult for Brother Feng. She turned around and left.
Feng Michu stretched out his hand to hold her, "Miss is really a hard-hearted person. ”
Jing Diyi laughed and jumped into the room from the window, Feng Michu hugged her and wanted to make love, Jing Diyi reached out to cover his mouth, "I met Zhang Nian today." ”
He looked as usual, "What did he come to Miss for?"
She asked, "You don't know what he's coming to me for?" and paused, "He came to beg me to give him a way out, and I agreed." Tomorrow, I will ask Mu Sheng to beg the emperor, let the emperor let him go back to his hometown, and spend the last few years. ”
